However, the new routing is not stored in the user's profile. When the user
logs out, the temporary channel routing is lost, and his original channel
routing will be loaded when logging in the next time.
Permanent Routing To store the new channel routing within the user's profile, the SAVE TO
USER PROFILE field has to be touched before exiting the page with
EXIT.
Clearing a Crosspoint When the CLEAR field is touched after having selected a connection, then
this fader strip is free now, and its dot jumps outside the grid to the left.
Protected Connections One or several connections can be protected by the administrator from
being modified, even by users having access permission to the CHANNEL
ROUTING page. In such a case, a dashed vertical line is displayed for the
corresponding input module (channels 01, P, and R in the picture above).
Input Modules not Connected to a Fader Strip
There are cases where the signals must be routed “to the background”, i.e.,
it is possible for channels to be active, but without operating elements on
the console surface. Either the user deliberately decides that some channels
must be in the background, or the console just has more input modules
than fader strips, which may also be the case when a master output (PGM
and/or REC) is assigned to a fader. In the fader screen, the channel section
of a channel routed to the background is either blank, or it displays a mas-
ter fader.
All channels currently routed to the background can be displayed in the
CHANNEL ON/OFF page; this page is selected by touching CHN
ON/OFF in the HOME page.
When routing an input module signal to the background, the audio path
remains open, and the audio passes through the console with the fader
level set at the moment of routing the signal to the background. This can
be used, for example, for channels being controlled in the background by a
broadcast automation system (e.g. DigiMedia) using the serial port. In this
way, a channel fader is made free for another signal or for the PGM or
REC master.
External MUTE control for the channel is still available. In such a case,
this channel may also be used as a talkback mic input channel; please note
that the TB SOURCE parameter of this input must then be set to “CR” in
the INPUT CONFIG. page.
Notes: This could be dangerous for a new user taking over the console or for un-
experienced users. Therefore being in the HOME page, the HOME field
toggles to CHN ON/OFF. When touching this field, the CHANNEL
ON/OFF page is opened (see below), displaying all channels not assigned
to fader strips (i.e., being in the background); the ones that are highlighted
are open for audio signals (“ON”). Now, the user can switch any channel
ON or OFF on this page directly by touching the corresponding field on
the screen.
When the PFL function is active at the moment of routing a channel to the
background, it is automatically switched off.
